I am experienced in crop trial management, field data collection and analysis, crop varietal selection, sustainable agriculture practices, agricultural risk analysis and management, agricultural market research, and agronomic backstopping. I have successfully supervised the production of 2,000 Ha of grains, and I have provided agronomic advisory and backstopping services to different farmer groups and individual investors in the grain and horticulture crops value chain. I am well equipped with strong farm project planning and management skills, problem-solving and team management skills. In addition, I am enthusiastic, innovative, and passionate about using my technical expertise and knowledge to promote sustainable and scalable food crop production of safe and nutritious foods for a changing climate and ever-growing population.
